How can I download & install ch1 file from GoogleDrive?

[oskarsh]

@d-healey I restarted and HISE and its working ... intersting. It might have been stuck in a odd state. Thanks for testing!

[oskarsh]

@d-healey I think what might have caused this is that I am re-setting the baseURL to a different one when I am trying to download. Similar to your use case I am getting the Download URL from a server, I then re set the base url to download the samples from a different host.

Could this be causing issues? Can I reset my baseURL to the correct host every time I'll be calling another API?

[d.healey]

@oskarsh The idea of the base URL is you set it once and don't change it (of course sometimes you need to).

If you are changing it a lot then set it to https://. Then you can use any endpoint URL you need and just remove the https:// from it.

@d-healey I am trying with Google Drive link...Not working..

HISE can not download file from Google Drive as well !!
What is the solution If I want to host my large files on Google Drive etc, other than my host Wordpress?

@DabDab Amazon S3, PCloud. Dropbox can do it but it's complicated.

[d.healey]

@DanH Amazon S3 is easy with the WooCommerce plugin.

@d-healey

Amazon S3 is easy with the WooCommerce plugin.

But it is not free after trial.

@DanH I have found Pcloud very useful and working nicely with HISE. Thank you for that. But I have one issue after 1 Download if I delete the File and Re-Download it , HISE doesn't start the Download again.. WHY?

[DanH]

@DabDab I think Hise has to delete the file, otherwise it thinks the file is still there (unless you script a check to see if the file exists or not).

What happens if you download the file, delete the file, restart Hise and try the download again?

It's in the docs

But it is not free after trial.

So?

[DabDab]

@d-healey What will be the scenario for compiled plugin? is it same as HISE behavior ?

So

I have found amazon S3 as premium and expensive. I can not use it for my FREE Plugins.

[d.healey]

@DabDab Ah yes, for free that's different, I don't think you mentioned that before. What about using github?

[DabDab]

@d-healey Oh.. Github can be used for Zip file sharing? I didn't have the idea. Thank you for that. :) (y)

Can you explain how to do it using dropbox?

I am curious to learn it too..

[DanH]

Can you explain how to do it using dropbox?

I can't :grinning_squinting_face: I looked into it but it was too complicated so I paid for PCloud instead! If I can find the documentation again I will post it

[ulrik]

@DanH Haha, ok I understand

[DanH]

@ulrik although maybe this method works?

It's pretty easy to get a direct download link for your Dropbox files. All you have to do is copy the normal share link and tweak it a bit.

@DanH looks interesting, thanks!

@DanH It's working, I replaced "https://www.dropbox.com” with
"dl.dropboxusercontent.com" and it downloads nicely :)
